Overview

  • India’s top court has required in‑service teachers without TET to clear it within two years or accept compulsory retirement, with those under five years from retirement allowed to continue without promotion eligibility.
  • Maharashtra’s examination council fixed TET 2025 for November 23 with registrations from September 15 to October 3 and hall tickets from November 12.
  • Tamil Nadu’s school education minister said the state will move the Supreme Court for a review, citing the RTE Act’s focus on new appointments and concerns over mass retirements and teacher shortages.
  • West Bengal saw protests by 2022 TET‑qualified candidates outside the Assembly demanding appointments, leading to scuffles with police and detentions as the education minister promised a vacancy list soon and disputed claims of 50,000 posts.
  • Teacher bodies and politicians in Maharashtra sought clarity and relief, including multiple TET attempts and preparatory leave, pointing to low pass rates in past MahaTET sessions and the risk of vacancies if veterans fail to qualify.
